The Bartender role at The Ritz-Carlton is designed to be much more than just mixing drinks. This position is integral to creating an inviting, memorable, and unique bar experience that aligns with the hotel’s luxury brand ethos. Bartenders are expected to be beverage enthusiasts who stay on top of evolving trends, local offerings, and guest preferences, continually enhancing their craft to delight guests. Beyond technical skills, bartenders serve as hosts of the space, taking ownership of guest service more broadly and ensuring the bar operates smoothly and flawlessly. Their responsibilities extend beyond drink preparation to include managing the bar's appearance, handling financial transactions accurately, and providing detailed knowledge to guests. Collaboration with other hotel departments and building connections within the community are key to anticipating and exceeding guest needs.

Success in this role requires a commitment to creating a safe workplace, adhering strictly to company policies and procedures, safeguarding company assets, maintaining confidentiality, and presenting a professional appearance. Bartenders must be physically prepared for an active work environment, being on their feet for extended periods and capable of performing hands-on tasks such as lifting, carrying, and reaching. This demanding yet rewarding role offers the opportunity to contribute significantly to the esteemed guest service experience for which The Ritz-Carlton is celebrated. This is a non-supervisory role that requires at least one year of related work experience and a high school diploma or GED equivalent. The position embodies Marriott International’s dedication to equal opportunity employment and fostering a diverse workforce, offering an inclusive workplace where every employee can thrive and achieve their best version of themselves.
